8 Use in Specific Populations

PLLR conversion, as below:

8.1 Pregnancy

Risk Summary

Miacalcin nasal spray is not indicated for use in females of reproductive potential. There are no data with the use of Miacalcin nasal spray in pregnant women. In an animal reproduction study, subcutaneous administration of calcitonin-salmon to pregnant rabbits during organogenesis at 4- 18 times the recommended parenteral human dose caused a decrease in fetal birth weights. No adverse developmental outcome was observed in the rat with subcutaneous administration of cal-citonin-salmon at 9 times the recommended human parenteral dose based on body surface area.

Data

Animal Data

Calcitonin-salmon has been shown to cause a decrease in fetal birth weights in rabbits when given by subcutaneous injection in doses 4–18 times the parenteral dose (of 54 International Units/m2) and 70–278 times the intranasal dose recommended for human use based on body surface area.

No embryo/fetal toxicities related to Miacalcin were reported from maternal subcutaneous daily doses in rats up to 80 International Units/kg/day from gestation day 6 to 15.

8.2 Lactation

Risk Summary

Miacalcin nasal spray is not indicated for use in females of reproductive potential. There is no information on the presence of calcitonin-salmon in human milk, the effects on the breastfed child, or the effects on milk production. Calcitonin has been shown to inhibit lactation in rats.
